What an exemplary novel! David Balducci writes a thriller
filled with action, adventure, high tension and intrigue with heart. In his 3rd book with the main
character John Puller the author pulls out all the tops in leading the readers
down a road in search for the truth of Robert Puller’s innocence or guilt in
regards to treason. I think to fully
appreciate and relish the book one does need to start at the beginning of the
series to fully appreciate the Puller family characters with their family
issues, careers, health and experiences.

All that goes into building each book with a story that
won’t let up and leaves the reader wanting more! While each book can be a story unto itself it
is the revelations about each of the Puller family men that enhance each
tale. There is emotion in each book not
in the forefront but definitely in background in regards to John Puller Sr. and
his battle with Dementia.

In The Rescue there is one section of the story that really
pulled at my heart as the author paints with words a very touching scene
between a father and son. Not only is it
with the knowledge that slowly these two brothers are losing their parent to a
disease that knows no bounds. Having
personally gone through in my life I can say that the author does a great job
giving his audience a peek at what some people deal with and its affect on a
person.

I do recommend reading and enjoying the series even with its
rare use of foul language. Why? There are many people who love to read all
types of books and want to read stories that have grit to them. Yes you can have that without the language, I
am just glad he doesn’t liberally dose his stories with the words unlike other
novelists. There is patriotism is the
book, heart and soul in the characters and a rich plot fraught with a plethora
of trails that keep readers like me up till the wee hours of a morning to get
to the end!

The next book in the series is titled No Man’s Land and I
cannot wait to see where the author takes John Puller next!

Why we do what we do

When this blog began it was during a time of raising my sons and care taking for ailing inlaws. Before those seasons ended this blog morphed into writing reviews and interviewing authors. With the constant change in the Christian publishing industry and our society, our purpose expanded.

With my girlfriend coming alongside, we review all sorts of novels, hunting for sound stories. While there are a couple genres we will not review for several reasons, we remain open to looking into new opportunities to read and share about good books!

In all of what we do we aim to bring glory to God and Christ Jesus in the ministry of blogging which we believe He has blessed us to do. We are always amazed that we get to wake up and do something with such profound joy each and everyday.
